Aircraft display system to declutter image for landing
A patent application (Publication Number: US20240011796A1) describes a method for altering the display of flight information on an aircraft's display area to declutter a cutout region in an image generated by a vision system. The method involves determining specific conditions of the aircraft, such as flight phase or altitude, and when met, causing an alteration in the display to show the Approach Lighting System (ALS) of the intended landing runway. This alteration may involve moving, removing, or resizing flight information, increasing transparency, or reducing overlap with the cutout region.
Furthermore, the method includes displaying enhanced vision in the cutout region, synchronizing alterations on heads up display (HUD) and heads down display (HDD) devices, and reverting to the original display when a reversion condition is met, such as actuation of a take-off go-around (TOGA) switch or landing of the aircraft. The patent also covers a computer program product containing program code for executing the method on a computer, processor, or logic circuit. This innovation aims to enhance the clarity and efficiency of displaying flight information during critical phases of flight, ultimately contributing to improved safety and situational awareness for pilots.
